The Polytechnic Lodge is Going to the Dogs, Again!
It’s official – The Polytechnic Lodge is going to the dogs. Again!
Following on from previous successful lodge events at Romford Dog Racing Stadium, we are returning again with our partners and potential candidates on a Saturday evening, at the famous Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium. You certainly do not have to be a gambler to enjoy the excitement.
Romford Greyhound Stadium was originally opened in 1929 and it has been an established attraction ever since, with direct transport links from London. Despite predominantly hosting greyhound racing, the stadium was also briefly home to cheetah racing back in 1937.
The racing calendar has grown throughout the years and three new major events have been introduced since Coral took over in 1976. The Coronation Cup became Romford’s third major trophy in 1986 before the Golden Sprint was introduced a year later. The Champion Stakes was then resurrected in 1988 and since then the stadium has become one of the UK’s most visited dog tracks.
Romford Greyhound Stadium celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2019, which coincided with a £10 million refurbishment. The Coral Stand is home to a brand-new restaurant, three bars and on-site betting facilities.
The Polytechnic Lodge will be in the Pavilion Restaurant which is situated on the third bend and also boasts an exclusive outdoor terrace. Inside there are large screen T.V.s to view the racing action. A delicious three course carvery menu is included.
The cost is £32.50 per person. The date and full details will be published soon on the lodge WhatsApp group chat.
THE PRICE INCLUDES:-
- Admission & Racecard
- Three Course Carvery Meal
- Drinks Table Service
- Tote Betting Table Service
- Free car parking, on a first come first served basis.
Please note: That due to the restaurant layout and Health and Safety requirements, bookings of more than 8 people will be split over multiple tables. Specific seats cannot be guaranteed. Once paid all bookings are non-refundable or transferable.
